ST. LOUIS, May 20.
The following dispatch has been received at Head Quarters in
this city. The letter spoken of is
evidently one that has been intercepted:
“A letter from a regimental Quartermaster at Corinth to his
wife, says, they (the rebels) are gone up.
They have scant ten days’ rations, and can get no more. Thinks there can be no fighting, as Halleck
has cut off their supplies.”
